Jan Blachowicz def. Jimi Manuwa at UFC-London: Best photos

The UFC today announced the matchup for the Sept. 22 fight card, which takes place at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The event airs live on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Teixeira (27-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) is less than a month removed from a decision loss to Corey Anderson at UFC Fight Night 134. Since a failed bid for the title against now-former champ Jon Jones in 2014, the Brazilian vet is 5-4 in the octagon.

Teixeira’s most recent loss stung particularly hard, prompting him to declare afterward, “Last time I fought like that and somebody just dominated was by Phil Davis. But for Phil Davis I have excuses. My weight cut was very bad. This, I have no excuses. I can’t be fighting like this.”

A quick turnaround will get Teixeira focused on a new challenge, while Manuwa (17-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) hopes to pull out of a sudden slump. The English knockout artist has dropped his past two octagon bouts, most recently dropping a unanimous decision to Jan Blachowicz at UFC Fight Night 127. The setback followed a knockout loss to Volkan Oezdemir in a title eliminator.
